ICD-10-PCS Code For Lower Extremity Arteries: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group B42H includes procedures performed to image the vascular structures in the lower extremity arteries. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a computed tomography study with computer reformatted multiplanar images of the lower extremity arteries is performed for diagnostic or postoperative evaluation. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS B42H group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lower Extremity Arteries Computerized Tomography Procedure Overview
This procedure group includes computerized tomography imaging of the lower extremity arterial system using reformatted multiplanar displays developed from multiple external ionizing radiation exposures. Procedures target the lower arteries to evaluate vascular anatomy, stenosis, occlusion, or postoperative status. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these imaging procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the precise study performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and reimbursement.
